Sci-Tech Academy

There's no place quite like Sci-Tech! 

At 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy, our staff members create and use incredible curricula, created in partnership with education experts, to guide campers in bringing to life the questions that capture their imaginations. Using a hands-on, project-based approach, campers learn and create in a collaborative environment. Campers choose one primary track, or “Workshop,” where they spend a total of 2½ hours throughout each day, in addition to exploring the world through our amazing counselor-led chugim (electives) and outdoor recreational periods like Sababa.

Workshops are taught by our lead instructors, who are professionals in their field and/or professional educators (such as science teachers) who bring both a passion for the subject and experience working with children. They are supported by college-age counselors majoring in fields of science and technology and actively engaged in learning and research. These amazing counselors also develop and lead our incredible chugim (electives)! Workshops include:

• ​Robotics
• Game Design
• Programming & Coding: Javascript
• Digital Film Production
• Biochemistry
• Digital Art
• Botanical Sciences

Sci-Tech is open to campers entering grades 4-10, with a special rising 11th-grade unit offered during 3rd session only and a full-summer Machon Teen Leadership program for rising 12th graders. We also have a five day Taste of Camp program for rising 4th graders during Session 3 for our youngest campers looking to experiment with what Sci-Tech has to offer!

CHUGIM
Campers also choose two chugim (pronounced hoo-GEEM, meaning electives) each week. This provides campers with the opportunity to explore new areas of interest.
